44 photos for 44 days - and somehow, this year’s harvest went by about as fast as this reel. 🍇
On October 1st, we brought in the final fruit of the 2026 vintage, officially wrapping up picking earlier than ever before in BENOM history.
For 44 days, our world revolved around the rhythm of harvest. Early mornings, long days, walking the vineyard, making picking decisions, sorting fruit, and bringing each new lot into the cellar.
Those 44 days brought some pretty special moments, including one we’ve been waiting years for: our first harvest from the BENOM Estate. We’ve already tasted through some of the early lots, and the color, aromatics, and freshness have us excited to see how the 2026 vintage develops.
The picking may be finished, but the work is far from done. Fermentations, pump-overs, pressing, and plenty of time in the cellar are still ahead as the 2026 wines begin to take shape. 🍷
